Screw that, Purtillo's class was awesome. Sandro on the other hand is a B. Only CS class i pulled an A in.
Larry Herman, on the other hand, made me want to die.
I had a really good software engineering class but the book was more of a reference guide. The professor only used selected parts he liked from it. Instead of using a local university, go to the software engineering sites for major universities with good programs. There tends to be quite a bit of information there. For instance: http://doubletap.cs.umd.edu/~sandro/cmsc435new/htm l/index.php

Maybe it is time to stop classifying computer people seperate from other engineers. My job title is "Software Engineer" and I basicly solve technical problems all day just like an engineer, my medium is software. The level of respect between engineers and "trade professionals", which is what tech's and a good deal of network guys have become, is the same difference that always existed between engineers and electricians or mechanics. The engineer who designed the car always received more respect then the mechanic who fixed the car.
In the end it comes down to education. I just graduated with a CS degree from a reputable University so I was given respect when interviewing for engineering positions. Of course, this a different respect from the kind you get from being a good person and such, but that has nothing to do with the job your doing and everything you do with how you do your job.
Isn't this one of the problems in the boom era and why it burst? If anyone ever took a basic accounting class you should know payroll is always an expense. A company needs to keep a balance between payroll and revenue generated by the employees receiving the payroll. In the boom era this was not the case; instead, it was spend spend spend on techies who can get our idea of the ground then worry about paying them later. Well for many companies later meant no revenue streams and after spending all the venture capital ran out, the only solution was to cut EXPENSES! The easiest expense to cut is payroll, which, the techies always were even if they were treated otherwise.

It troubles me that the highly ranked Computer Science department at College Park (Alumni, go TERPS!) doesn't seem to have a hand in this. I guess 4.5 years of hating the business students for having free time on there hands and still maintaining a high GPA has sullied my perception of the business school.
History Channel has a program about salt mine, I believe it is a Modern Marvels segment, that discusses a mine somewhere in the south. They have dug so deep that temperatures are too high for humans to bear. I distinctly recall the commentator saying they can boil water at a reachable depth. If so, this could be used as the power source for a closed loop steam turbine system. Of course I have not considered the logistics of dealing with all the equipment in these conditions, but the point is, power sources are all over the place. Instead of trying to find the one catch all solution, ie oil, fusion, solar, we just have to try to use the ones that work best for our region.

Is Christian Science Monitor actually tied any religious institution? I have a hard time believing they are controlled by the Pope, but I could see some connections to various Lutheran organizations or even being a completely independent group of non-literal interpretation of the bible Christian journalists.
Parents are heavily at fault. Look at previous generations and how many very successful productive people grew up in the hills or on farms with almost no formal education. But there parents taught them to work and how to survive. My grandfather, for instance, just retired from CEO of a company he started 40 years ago, now he lives on a yacht. It all started on a farm in rural PA bailing hay.
Now we have all these damn Baby Boomer hippy parents mucking up the works.

Indeed, if I want to live somewhere there are jobs for a software engineer, what the hell is the point of a $12,000 structure built on land that costs $250,000 an acre on the low end? If I wanted to live cheap I would just move to rural Georgia, not build a hippy house.
The real problem is the rapic change in temperature. If the world temperature raises too much too fast, then it is possible whole ecosystems will come crashing down which could have massive effects for life everywhere. That being said, more modeling definitly needs to take place to see what might happen.
Seems to me this could be easily done if your DVR box can be assigned an IP. I don't know how many, probrably none, have this capability, but with some mods I could see making my DVR box a server or at the least somehow tieing into my PC so I can pull the data from it. Of course, the high quality streaming video over the internet will be a challenge.
Oil Companies are the ones making all this shit. In fact, I would argue there are no 'oil companies' only energy companies. An energy company will supply its customers with energy however they can at the highest profit, wether it be oil, hydrogen, solar, or cold fusion (hahahah). Blind hatred for an industry makes no sense at all.

Stewart went on and was himself instead of the anchor man from the Daily Show. He was saying the things people like me would be saying if I could get on Crossfire. His fame gave him the opportunity to make his point, which, I believe, is what a whole bunch of non media industry people think.

Forget the graphics apps, what are the chances Adobe is interested in helping develop something like KDE or Gnome? If I remember correctly, OS X desktop is somehow based on PDF which would be right up Adobe's ally as far as domain knowledge. My point is I want a nice clean, fast, stable, feature rich front end for X11 before I want Photoshop for my Linux box. No version of X Windows I have seen is even close to OSX in these departments.

Hey its a pessimistic liberal talking. Yes that sentence is redundant.
